Strategies
With
While this plant has below average stats for a plant that costs 3 sun, Venus Flytrap can be a big threat when used correctly. Making this plant do bonus attacks is helpful, especially when you are low on health.
Increasing its strength is also helpful too, since Venus Flytrap heals the amount of damage it inflicts on a target. For example, destroying an unboosted Template:PvZHLink when Venus Flytrap has 5 strength heals the plant hero for 5 health. However, since the amount healed is equal to the damage inflicted, Armored zombies will decrease the amount healed, while Shielded zombies and Super-Blocks will outright prevent it from healing. This is extremely helpful with Chompzilla with Espresso Fiesta, being able to heal entirely if you buff it.
In addition, using other threatening plants like Doubled Mint or Template:PvZHLink can distract your opponent into fighting those plants while you heal yourself.
It is recommended to use this along with Pepper M.D. because as Venus Flytrap hurts zombies, you will be healed, giving Pepper M.D. a boost.
Against
Try to remove this plant as soon as possible, because as long as it does damage to zombies, it keeps healing your opponent. Using cards that can destroy it such as Rolling Stone, Bungee Plumber, and Locust Swarm, or cards that decrease its strength such as Template:PvZHLink and Nibble is advised. Using zombies with the Armored trait or are Shielded can mitigate or prevent Venus Flytrap from healing. Knight of the Living Dead outright stops it from healing. If it gets too powerful for you to handle, your opponent may be unstoppable to defeat due to excessive health regeneration, so destroying it early is a priority.
